    a few from a while back that i only got around to sorting lately...not sure what kind of birds these are so ill call them parrots...highly enjoyable trying to catch them in flight but was made difficult by the fading light...vicious little f*ckers too...

    definitely strokes the flames for a bit more wildlife photography methinks...

    Your pretty much right. They are Lorikeets, basically medium sized Parrots. Beautiful birds, and again, excellent photos.

    1 & 2 for me are the best, really great shots, anytime i've tried to get a good bird shot, i eaither get a tail, a blur or a blurred tail !!
    Great shots

    I think the first 2 are especially good.
    Nice focus, sharp detail and vibrant colours.

    loving them all

    The third one at first glance I though aw damn the wing blur is in the way ... the more I look at it the more I think its almost my favourite. the motion and the sharp focus in the rest just seems really cool :)

    I've let to try moving targets (might just start with the more garden variety of bird for the moment) :D
